According to the panel’s transcript located in the WPATH Files written by Canadian researcher, Mia Hughes, when talking about the fertility of youth, a trans supportive doctor said, “most of the kids are nowhere in any kind of a brain space to really talk about it [the long term effects of sterility] in a serious way,” Metzger, the trans supportive doctor, continued: “that’s always bothered me, but you know, we still want the kids to “be happy, happier in the moment, right?”[154]  

​

Dr. Metzger's words are evidence not that he is stupid, but that he is playing a psychological Game. He is Playing Stupid. There are many Games. “Playing Stupid” is a Game where the individual can’t see what is right in front of them; it is a discount of reality. A similar and related Game is called polysurgery, a Game of unnecessary medical treatments. Games can be first-degree, second-degree, or third-degree games. A first-degree game is a socially acceptable Game, a pronoun change; a second-degree game is an ambivalent game, which is an uncomfortable and unspoken Game, such as a child using puberty blockers; and a 3rd degree game is played for keeps, ending in surgery, the courtroom, or the morgue.[155] Transgender Polysurgery is a third-degree Game.

​

Some professionals, such as leading specialists Susan Bradley and Kenneth Zucker, showed integrity and reversed course from these Games. Bradley is a pediatric psychologist who started Canada’s first gender clinic in 1975 in an addictions treatment hospital. This is where Zucker joined her research. Both Bradley and Zucker eventually came out against the popular Dutch model of affirmation. Susan Bradley initially agreed to the Dutch protocol, putting some children on puberty blockers — a practice she says she now regrets.[156] “I had this skepticism in the back of my mind all the time that maybe we were actually colluding and not helping them, and I think that’s proven correct, once these kids get started at any age on puberty blockers, nearly all of them continue to want to go to cross sex hormones.”

​

With new research showing harm, Bradley stopped being complicit in the gender experiment on kids. We know now that blocker causes atrophy in the sex organs often resulting in sterility;[157] puberty blockers can have a possible detrimental impact on IQ;“[158] the long term study done in Sweden, 1973-2003, showed that after sex reassignment, mortality and suicidal behavior go up; with a 19 fold increase in suicidality; psychiatric disorders are 7 times higher; hospitalization is 22-44 times higher; self-harm 70-144 times higher and suicidal thoughts were 25-54 times higher than the general public; both suicide and criminality increase for females.[159], [160] Remember that social transition increases depression, as stated in Michelle Cretella’s introduction. When 34% of kids had a mental health decline, and 37% showed no improvement, then 71% of these kids were harmed by the affirmation protocol. Before the social contagion, when the condition affected mostly boys, Bradley showed that 87.8% of boys referred to their clinic eventually stopped believing they were girls.[161]

​

Bradley, like other specialists, verifies that autistic adolescents are particularly vulnerable to find themselves targets for gender surgery. In her study, those who did not desist were extreme cases. In these cases, children faced extreme adverse childhood events, experiences such as the death of a parent, poverty, mental illness in the family, drug addiction in the family, living as a prostitute, and other tragedies being the underlying causes of distress.[162] The medical scandal is not over yet in Canada. 

 

Canadian medical public transgender policy is riddled with Magical thinking. For many, transgender medicine has been the pedophilic fantasy of castrating and enslaving young children, and the bystanders watching have been as traumatized as the victims.

 

Quinten Van Meter, who worked with John Money and told the world about Money’s sick and strange experiments,[163] he said “Transgenderism is a cultural phenomenon supported by organized interest groups including beneficiaries in the medical profession. Its precepts lack conceptual and scientific integrity. Its regiments present known dangers and risks to minors subjected to them. Cross-sex medical interventions upon children are forms of human experimentation and should not be promoted or rewarded by the coercive power of law.”[164]

Psychotherapy is the best practice for these children, as well as group therapy, which has made good progress with youth recently. Group and individual mental health services, based on child development, are the only appropriate ways to treat gender confusion in children. All schools in Canada need to remove gender guidelines from interventions and return to guidelines that promote child development, not with wishful or magical thinking. Boys are not girls. Own your power as free, strong, and nurturing parents, and tell it to your kids.
